Chapter 614: Skeleton Demon View
Chapter 606 – Skeleton Demon Concept
When the tall old man saw that Lu Xuan had agreed to the bet, he immediately took out a strange spirit seed from the wooden building.
The Spirit Seed was a small concave and convex ball that looked like it was woven from countless tiny skeletons that were as crystalline as jade, giving off an eerie yet exquisite feeling.
Lu Xuan looked at it a few more times, as if he felt that his bones were attracted to the small ball of skeletons, and had a slight loosening sensation.
“This is the strange spirit plant in my collection, Fellow Daoist Lu can take a closer look at it.”
“However, you cannot stay near this spirit plant for too long, or else it will lead to a slow loss of your own bone marrow essence.”
The tall old man voiced a reminder.
Lu Xuan gently nodded his head and received the Skeletal Spirit Seed, his Spiritual Sense observing it carefully and cautiously.
“How is it? Can Fellow Daoist Lu see anything?”
Half a moment later, the tall old man who was slowly enjoying the spirit tea on the side got up and asked.
“I have a tiny bit of a clue, however, I would like to try planting this Spirit Seed in the Spirit Soil to see if I can perceive some more detailed information, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wood would mind?”
Lu Xuan asked out loud, with his experience of perusing the various spiritual plant texts in the Heavenly Sword Sect’s hidden scripture cabinet, he was unable to get a glimpse or two of this Spirit Seed, so he could only make use of that special ability of his own.
“No harm done.”
“As long as Fellow Daoist Lu doesn’t let this Spirit Seed get damaged and doesn’t leave this room, just toss it around however you want.”
The tall old man was victorious, completely unconcerned about this small request from Lu Xuan.
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth rose slightly as he took out a small pile of E Spirit Loam from his storage bag.
Then, he placed the skeleton blob spirit seed into the spirit soil.
His mind condensed on the skeleton blob in the shallow layer of the spirit soil, and instantly, a message surfaced in his mind.
[Skeleton Demon View, Sixth Grade Spiritual Plant, born from a ten thousand year old Skeleton Demon of the Secret Demon Sect, the growth process needs to absorb the essence of a large number of cultivators’ and demonic beasts’ skeletons, bear layers of forests of skeletons, and finally build up a complete Skeleton Demon View].
During the cultivation process, the spirit plant will actively absorb the bone essence of nearby living beings, slowly eroding their bodies and bones, and staying next to the spirit plant for a long time will lead to the weakening of one’s own vitality, and the bones will be fragile and softened.
After maturity, it can be refined into an evil magic treasure, or practiced in the Wrecking Devil’s Temple to accelerate its cultivation speed.
[If you are willing to build me up with one skeleton by one, then you and I will be indistinguishable.]
“Sixth grade spirit plant …… and it’s of the Evil Exotic class.”
“But how come this spirit plant grows in such an odd way? It actually absorbs the essence of skeletons to bear layers of the so-called Forest of Skeletons ……”
Lu Xuan was secretly stumped in his heart, lamenting that there were no strange spiritual plants in the world.
He pretended to observe around the spirit plant for a while before finally standing up thoughtfully.
“Fellow Daoist Lu? Can you see anything?”
“I advise you to save your energy, why don’t you just give me a rare treasure.”
The tall old man on the side had a growing smile on his face, and seeing Lu Xuan’s thoughtful demeanor, he couldn’t help but voice out a reminder.
This Spirit Seed could not even be recognized by his YuanYing Ancestor’s cultivation eye, let alone Lu Xuan who was only at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Even if he had extremely deep attainments in spiritual plants, this was completely beyond the realm of a spiritual planter, and the old man therefore had complete confidence in himself.
“Don’t rush to be happy first, fellow wood Taoist, I have a little clue.”
Lu Xuan did not rush to inform the old man of the information he had been informed of, and looked at the old man with a smug look on his face, secretly laughing in his heart.
“To actually use your hobby to challenge my profession, so be it, I’ll give you a small lesson.”
Thoughts flashed through his mind and he came to the old man’s side. “Fellow Daoist Wood, I’ve been observing for a long time, and I suddenly remembered that I had read about this Spirit Seed in a certain tome.”
Lu Xuan followed his usual practice and moved out that mysterious tome.
“This spirit seed is called Wrecking Demon View, Sixth Grade Spirit Plant, and is said to be a unique spirit plant of the Mysterious Demon Sect, only the specific cultivation method, and the efficacy, I’m not too sure about.”
“I wonder if I have guessed correctly?”
When the tall old man heard this, his original joyful expression instantly collapsed.
“I won’t hide it from you, Fellow Daoist Lu, I’m not sure exactly what variety of Spirit Seed it is, it’s just that when my old ancestor rewarded me with this Spirit Seed, he once said that it was seized from a late-stage JieDan real person from the Secret Demon Sect.”
“If you can know that it came from the Secret Demon Sect, then nine times out of ten it is correct.”
Although he usually loved to show off his collection of various rare treasures, he was nonetheless not a cautious person and admitted brightly.
“Willing to gamble, Fellow Daoist Lu, say it, do you want spirit stones, or do you want me to fulfill a request within my ability?”
“If you want any rare treasures, you can also ask me, fourth grade and below is still no problem.”
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.
Fourth-grade treasures, even if they were even rarer, seemed a bit plain to the current him, and only the rarest of spirit species could arouse a hint of interest in him.
“Fellow Daoist Wood, I don’t need any treasures, I just want to ask you about a special spirit mine.”
He hesitated and decided to ask the tall old man about the Yuan Magnetism Spirit Mountain and Spirit Mine.
The Sixth Grade Yuan Magnetic Spirit Wood had been obtained for a short period of time, but he had not been able to get the special conditions that would satisfy its growth needs, and this tall old man, who had an unusual origin and loved to collect all kinds of treasures, might be able to obtain the location of the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Mountain from him.
“Special Spirit Mine? Fellow Daoist Lu, please tell us.”
“Due to the fact that my cultivation technique is somewhat special, I need an aura environment that contains Yuan Magnetic Spirit Power, I don’t know if Fellow Daoist Mu has ever heard of it?”
“A special environment with Yuan Magnetic Spiritual Energy?”
“I seem to have some impression, years ago I occasionally heard the elders of my clan mention that there is a Yuan Magnetic Spirit Mountain in a certain secret realm, but there are many prohibitions inside and it is very dangerous.”
A thoughtful look appeared on the tall old man’s face as he slowly said.
“I’m not too sure about the exact location, I only remember that it’s not within the Liyang territory, so when I return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters next time, I’ll inquire about it on your behalf, fellow Daoist Lu.”
He promised Lu Xuan.
“Good, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Mu.”
Lu Xuan said gratefully, the growing environment of the Yuanmagnetic Spirit Wood that had been left empty now finally had a hint of what was to come, which made him feel much more at ease.
“Fellow Daoist Wood, this Skeleton Demon View Spirit Seed would be a bit of a waste if it were to be kept away, would you like to go over and try to cultivate it?”
“At that time, if we can harvest a finished rare spirit plant, the collection value will only be higher.”
After learning about the Yuan Magnetic Spirit Stone from the tall old man, Lu Xuan returned his attention to that Sixth Grade Wrecking Demon View Spirit Seed.
A Sixth Grade Evil Spirit Plant was not found inside the Netherworld Region except for that mysterious Fang Bone Demon Seed, so he naturally refused to let go of such an opportunity.
“Fellow Daoist Lu is trying to ……”
“That’s right, I’m a person with a somewhat similar nature to fellow Daoist, I can’t stand to see those rare spirit plants, and if I come across one, I’ll try to cultivate it by all means.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Therefore, I am willing to cultivate this Wrecking Devil’s View for you, fellow Daoist Mu, just to satisfy that inner curiosity, as well as the sense of fulfillment that comes with the maturity of a spirit plant.”
